This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201710576847.8, filed on Jul. 14, 2017, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technologies, in particular to a code block segmentation method, a terminal, a base station, and a computer readable storage medium.

BACKGROUND

The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) uses a Low Density Parity Check Code (LDPC) for an Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) application scenario of the fifth generation mobile communication technology (5G) New Radio (NR).

The LDPC uses an improvement scheme for a base graph to obtain a check matrix that supports a specific information length and a code rate, thereby performing coding and decoding. Using a base graph designed for a large information block length will degrade the performance of the short information block LDPC, and will also reduce the latency of the short information block, which is particularly go against the low latency requirement of the Ultra-high Reliability and Low Latency Communication (URLLC) scenarios. Therefore, some companies propose to use multiple base graphs, and different base graphs can support different information lengths and bit rates.

In order to make a compromise between the performance and the complexity, the LDPC coding scheme with two base graphs used in the NR is determined in the 3GPP. The size of the large base graph in two base graphs is 46×68 columns, the first 22 columns correspond to information bits, and the lowest code rate is 1/3; and the size of the small base graph is 42×52 columns, and the lowest code rate is 1/5. Unlike the large base graph, in order to improve the decoding performance and reduce the decoding latency, the current conclusion in the 3GPP is that when the information bit K is greater than 640, the first 10 columns of the base graph map the information bit. When the information bit K is greater than 560, and less than or equal to 640, the first 9 columns of the base graph map the information bit. When the information bit K is greater than 192, and less than or equal to 560, the first 8 columns of the base graph map the information bit. When the information bit K is greater than 40, and less than or equal to 192, the first 6 columns of the base graph map the information bit.

According to the Long Term Evolution (LTE) protocol, a base station and a terminal obtain Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS) information in Downlink Control Information (DCI), query the stored MCS table to obtain a Transport Block size (TBs) and the value of the target R, and then perform code block segmentation according to the maximum information block length Kmax=6144 of the LTE-Turbo code. The goal is to make each code block segment as large as possible and approximately equal. The specific idea is as follows: after the TB (Transport Block) size is determined, if the TB size is less than the Kmax, the TB is divided into a code block; if the TB size is greater than the Kmax, the length B of the TB is divided by (Kmax-L) to obatin number of code blocks C=┌B/(K max−L)┐, wherein the L is a 24-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) in the LTE protocol; and then, according to the number C of code blocks, the TB length B and the number L of CRCs, interleaving length of the Turbo code with the minimal zero padding is selected to complete the code block segmentation procedure.

However, there are two base graphs for the LDPC. Because there are two maximum information block lengths, the code block segmentation method cannot reuse the code block segmentation design in the LTE completely. Therefore, a new code block segmentation scheme is needed urgently.

The following describes the flow of the code block segmentation method in the embodiment of the present disclosure in combination with two specific methods.

First Method

The base station indicates the type of the base graph via signaling, if use of the base graph #1 is indicated via signaling, the base station or the terminal uses the maximum length of the first predetermined information bit (hereinafter referred to as Kmax1) for code block segmentation, and the transport block is segmented into one or more approximately equal segments by taking the Kmax1 as the upper limit. If use of the base graph #2 is indicated via signaling, the base station or the terminal uses the maximum length of the second predetermined information bit (hereinafter referred to as Kmax2) for code block segmentation, and the transport block is segmented into one or more approximately equal segments by taking the Kmax2 as the upper limit.

A specific scenario: the base station indicates the type of the base graph in DCI by using dynamic signaling of 1 bit, for example, the base graph #1 is represented by 0 in an indication field of the base graph in the DCI, the base graph #2 is represented by 1. The maximum length of the first predetermined information bit Kmax1 is equal to 8448 bits, and the maximum length of the second predetermined information bit Kmax2 is equal to 2560 bits. For example, the TB size is equal to 50000 bits, if the filed value of the base graph is 0, the entire TB is segmented according to the Kmax1 of 8448, if the number of CRCs is 16 bits, the entire TB can be segmented into C=┌50000/(8448−16)┐=6 segments, the length of each segment is as uniform as possible, such as difference of the lengths is at most 1 bit.

If the field value of the base graph is 1, the entire TB is segmented according to the Kmax2 of 2560, it is assumed again that the number of CRCs is 16 bits, the entire TB can be segmented into C=┌50000/(2560−16)┐=20 segments, the length of each segment is also as uniform as possible, such as difference of the lengths is at most 1 bit.

It should be noted that the above base graph can be notified via dynamic signaling, and certainly, it can also be notified via static or semi-static signaling.

Second Method

Firstly the code rate is determined (the terminal determines the code rate according to the signaling information indicated by the base station such as an MCS, a TBsize, a size of a allocated resource, but the base station does not need it), if a code rate R is greater than a code rate preset value R0, the code block segmentation is performed on the entire TB according to the maximum length of the first predetermined information bit (hereinafter referred to as Kmax1), and the transport block is segmented into multiple approximately equal segments by taking the Kmax1 as the upper limit. For example, the number of segmented code blocks C is equal to min C′, C′ is a positive integer, and C′ is greater than or equal to TBsize/(Kmax1−L), wherein the L is the length of the adopted CRC bit, and the length of each information bit segment is as equal as possible.

If the code rate value R is less than or equal to a code rate preset value R1, the code block segmentation is performed on the entire TB according to the maximum length of the second predetermined information bit Kmax2, and the transport block is segmented into one or more approximately equal segments by taking the Kmax2 as the upper limit, wherein the R0 is greater than the R1.

A specific scenario: it is assumed that the maximum length of the first predetermined information bit Kmax1 is equal to 8448 bits, and the maximum length of the second predetermined information bit Kmax2 is equal to 2560 bits. It is assumed that the TBsize is equal to 30000 bits. If the code rate value in transmission determined by the base station is greater than R0 of 1/3, the entire TB is segmented according to the Kmax1 of 8448, it is assumed that the number of the CRCs is 16 bits, the entire TB is segmented into C=┌30000/(8448−16)┐=4 segments, the length of each segment is also as uniform as possible, such as difference of the lengths is at most 1 bit. If the code rate value in transmission determined by the base station is less than R1 of 1/5, the entire TB is segmented according to the Kmax1 of 2560, it is assumed that the number of the CRCs is 16 bits, the entire TB is segmented into C=┌30000/(2560−16)┐=12 segments, the length of each segment is also as uniform as possible, such as difference of the lengths is at most 1 bit.

It should be noted that the above R0 of 1/3 is only an example and does not exclude other values, and the above R1 of 1/5 is only an example and does not exclude other values.

Optionally, the method for determining the code rate can be: specifically calculating the code rate value on each transmission according to a transport block size, a scheduled resource size, and a modulation scheme.

Optionally, the code rate on the actual transmission is determined according to indication information (for example, the indication information may be an MCS Index), which avoids complicated calculations. The MCS of the LTE is taken as an example:

TABLE Modulation and TBS index table (Modulation and Tranport Block index correspondence table, referred to as an MSC table) MCS Index IMCS Modulation Order Qm TBS Index ITBS 0 2 0 1 2 1 2 2 2 3 2 3 4 2 4 5 2 5 6 2 6 7 2 7 8 2 8 9 2 9 10 4 9 11 4 10 12 4 11 13 4 12 14 4 13 15 4 14 16 4 15 17 6 15 18 6 16 19 6 17 20 6 18 21 6 19 22 6 20 23 6 21 24 6 22 25 6 23 26 6 24 27 6 25 28 6 26 29 2 reserved 30 4 31 6

Each row of the MSC table represents a different code rate actually, see 3GPP document R1-081638, but the code rate implied in the MCS table is only the target value, which is not exactly the same as the code rate in actual transmission, but can meet the requirement of code rate for the code block segmentation, it is a simple and efficient way to utilize the code rate implied in the MCS table to identify different code rates to implement the code block segmentation.
